In short: Christmas isn't Christmas without doing the ChevinIn full: The Chevin is a Christmas highlight to make a dent in all the extra calories that get piled on.It doesn't get any less hilly, but the marshals & crowd support really give you a lift on the tricky parts. Very icy this year and a wait at the stiles for us slower runners cooled things down a bit-also no medium t-shirts left so my wife's got another kaftan, but apart from that it was all gravy and we're looking forward to C.C 2011. 10/10Date of review: December 29, 2010

In short: Cracking event and well worth doingIn full: Tough course with around 1000-1200 ft of climbing (and descending) but excellent scenery and a great atmosphere. Slightly spoiled by a cock up on the finish line meaning I lost 2 places (mainly due to a numberless runner trying to run through the finish line) but otherwise a very good race.Date of review: December 26, 2010
